How Far to Maui?

I'm pleased to announce the newest addition to Ka'anapali Dreamin', the How Far to Maui page.

This little creation allows you to enter a location (zip code or city and state) in the US and it will map out how far away you are from Maui. You can also see other recent searches from other visitors, so you can see where you rank if your not one of the lucky ones already living on Maui. It uses data from the geocoder.us website, which is based on the US Census data and the reason why it's restricted to only locations in the US at the present time.

It was a fun little mini-project to put together, and hopefully can add a few minutes of fun to your day. I've also thought of adding the capability to generate and host little HTML badges that you can copy onto your own site, blog, or whatever. I'm sorta waiting to see what type of response or feedback I'd get here from that idea to see if there'd be any takers prior to spending time on it.

I do have other Google Map related projects that I'm working on for the site as well, so be sure to check back soon.

Mahalo.
